The Green Bay Packers won’t have fans at training camp practices during the 2020 season due to the coronavirus pandemic, limiting access to the happenings of the team at Ray Nitschke Field.
You’re in luck. Here’s a roundup of what happened at today’s practice:
First, a big extension for Kenny
Source: Green Bay Packers NT Kenny Clark just signed a 4-year extension for $70 million, a deal that includes a hefty $25M signing bonus and makes him the highest paid NT in league history and the 12th highest paid defensive player in the NFL.

Reggie Begelton with his 3rd really impressive play to start practice. Not annointing anyone yet but he looks the part.

Burks gets first crack at ILB2
Oren Burks the second ILB alongside Christian Kirksey to start 11-on-11s. Lane Taylor also the first-team RG, for now, with Billy Turner at RT.

MVS goes deep early
First deep ball of camp, Marquez Valdes-Scantling beats Josh Jackson down the middle of the field, Tim Boyle’s pass falls perfectly in his hands… and MVS makes the catch. A nice start for a WR who was searching last year.

Youngsters getting early looks
You can tell #Packers have plans for Rashan Gary and Josiah Deguara, getting both involved early

Sully’s shot in the slot
As Kevin King predicted yesterday, Chandon Sullivan getting first-team reps as slot corner.

Rodgers and Lazard connect
Didn’t take Aaron Rodgers long to have his first “wow” throw of camp. He threads a pass past CB Josh Jackson, who WR Allen Lazard beat on a post for a TD in red zone.

Love to Kumerow
And Jake Kumerow catches Love’s first TD pass. About a 20-yarder through traffic and Aaron Rodgers threw up his hands to signify and celebrate the score. https://t.co/aZMFc4YqIV
